Pitkälti Lönnrot2017 projektin seurauksena viritellään kansainvälistä ennenkaikkea nettiin perustuvaa hanketta, joka yhdistäisi eri julkaisualustat golbaalissa prosessissa. Täytyy tunnustaa, että uuden median alueella on aikamoisia sanahirviöitä, kuten "global multi-media,crosssplatform. net-based 360 grades project."

Sunny Side Of Docissa pelkästään kutsutuille tarkotiettu palaveri meni niin hyvin, että jatkoa seuraa nyt eri tapahtumissa ( EsoDoc, Sheffield, IDFA, LINCT) ja mahdollisimman yksinkertainen kutsukin on julkaistu. Sen teksti on seuraava:

When searching for ideas and proposals of global, cross-media and multiplatform projects, the net as a first platform, DEADLINE 11.09.2009 sent to Arik Bernstein (arik@alma-films.com) and Iikka.Vehkalahti@yle.fi

The theme is open . Until now there has been mentioned ideas like: borders, another Europe ( like David Lynch Interviews), poverty, what´s wrong with men, voices of women etc…

But what ever is the theme:

the project should be acceptable by the following criteria’s:

It has to be global.

What does that mean?
1) The themes have to be universal.

3) That the project is planned foremost to be published in the net.
4) That the project would not be possible without the net.

8) That the stories are on-going on the net

c) The stories of the project are potential to be modified to other formats or platforms or they find ways to be naturally modified or done on the other platforms.

What do we expect:

1. 2-3 pages of the project and why it suits the guidelines above.
2. A financing strategy

4. Prospect of the potential partners

The process continues:

At Sheffield documentary film festival we will have a 2 hour session (participation by invitation only) where 5 projects will be introduced with a demo of net platform.

After Sheffield the process continues at IDFA with a similar kind of a session.

Between of these two we hope to have one session in New Delhi and 1-2 sessions on-line.

Result:

During 2010 we are prepared to start the first global
cross-platform project, the net as a first platform .
